Money Island

Money Island, by Andrew Jackson Howell, spins a beguiling tale of buried treasure, coastal mystery, and the vanished age of seafaring rogues. Set in Greenville Sound near Wilmington, North Carolina, this Myths/Legends and History hybrid unfolds as an old manuscript and a grandfather’s reminiscence, recounting the little island that "blinks in the sunlight" and the rumors of hidden wealth beneath its marshes. Howell weaves oral tradition and colonial-era maritime lore into a compact narrative: tales of Captain John Redfield, his alliances with notorious corsairs like Charles Vane, and the shadow of Captain Kidd’s era all frame a wider story about piracy, honor, and the blurred line between legend and history. The prose preserves the voice of storyteller Jonathan Landstone, lending authenticity to episodes of adventure, local color, and the superstitions that haunt coastal communities. This audiobook is ideal for listeners who love atmospheric historical storytelling, maritime myths, and regional Southern lore. Whether you’re drawn to pirate legends, treasure mysteries, or compact historical fiction rooted in real places, Money Island promises evocative narration and a stirring glimpse into America’s seafaring past.
